Ms. York's Second Proposal Chapter 198
"I'm not going to eat anymore!" Hearing how her own parents weren't siding with her, Carly threw the cutleries down and left angrily. "Celeste, she's just too spoiled. I'll punish her when we get back home. Don't take her words to heart …" For a moment, the atmosphere at the dining table was ice-cold. When Becky saw her daughter throwing a fit as she left, she felt nothing but embarrassment and hurriedly apologized to Celeste. "I'll ask her to visit you and apologize," Nick also said with an awkward look. "It's okay. What she thinks of me isn't important," Celeste replied.She was stating the truth. To her, Carly was just a stranger that had crossed paths with her in life. No matter how Carly judged her, it wouldn't be worth her effort to get hung up. "You should watch your behavior if you don't want other people to talk bad about you." Serena snorted. "I wouldn't be able to stop anyone from slandering me no matter how well-behaved I am anyway."Recalling the upsettin

Celeste smirked. There was mockery in her eyes, but she didn't say a word. Damon's heart was hurt when he saw that. "What should I do?" He sighed, wanting to kiss her teary eyes. But under his coat, Celeste quietly dodged him, clearly repelled. What Carly had said and done to Celeste was utterly unnecessary during dinner. And although Celeste hadn't let Carly get her way by winning all the arguments, Celeste didn't deserve to be treated that way.Serena's words had upset her too. After being verbally attacked by both of them, it would only be natural for her to talk back to Serena. Damon gave it some thought.Celeste had always been a forthcoming person. But not only did he not stand up for her, he'd even told her not to be on edge. His response was indeed a little overboard. Celeste should be angry. Damon was ready to coax her once they reached home, but Celeste gave him no chance to do so at all. If she'd lash out at him, he could still coax her with words, ge

Of course it looked familiar to Damon. It wasn't just any emerald pendant. It formed one half of the Celestial Bonds, which was a pair of matching pendants. Damon didn't say a word. Instead, he walked further into the study and opened the drawer beside Celeste. Then, he fished out another box that was almost the same size as hers. When he opened the box, Celeste saw the other half of the matching pendant. Celeste's pendant was shaped like a moon whilst Damon's one was a sun. "That's what Henry gave you that day." Damon wasn't asking a question. "Yeah. To be exact, he was just returning the pendant to its rightful owner." Celeste took Damon's pendant as well and played with both pendants. She spoke with a low and hoarse voice. "Want to hear a story?" "You can sit down and tell me," Damon replied.It was rare for such a tight-lipped person like Celeste to talk. Damon sat on the only chair in the study and carried Celeste up to sit on his lap. He only felt at ease whe

Celeste passed the pair of pendants over to him. Damon's heart clenched, and he couldn't help but hug Celeste tighter. He became anxious and quickly denied, "Celeste, you should know that things wouldn't go back to how they would be from the moment you approached me." Damon was very scared that if Celeste was a weak-minded woman and allowed the York family to control her, the one that he married could be Shannon. Meanwhile, Celeste might feel disheartened since she'd lost her mother and might simply just marry anyone. Apart from destiny, it was all thanks to Celeste's determination that the two got to meet each other. Damon was 26 years old. There had been many women who wanted to sleep with him, so Celeste wasn't the first that dared to take her clothes off in front of him. But for some reason, he fell for her because of how enticing she was. As Damon thought of their first time, he got a hard on. Celeste started, "You might not listen when other people say it once or

Since Damon wanted to feed her, Celeste would let him do it. She took her sweet time eating the omelet, and she'd chew it slowly before swallowing. Then, she gave him a look saying that she wanted to have some soup. Damon then scooped some soup. He brought the spoon to his lips and blew it before feeding her. It took nearly five minutes for her to finish a spoonful of soup. "I want more food," Celeste said, as if she didn't notice anything strange down there. Damon thought that she was actually hungry. He was very desperate, but he remained patient as he fed her. Celeste's lipstick was gone after they'd made out just now. So, at that moment, her lips were pale and pinkish. When she bit the omelet, they looked soft and alluring. As he watched Celeste eat the food he fed her, Damon felt aroused. He seemed calm on the outside, but he was fighting hard to suppress his desire on the inside. There were 12 omelets on the plate. They were intended as two servings for Celeste

It was 7 am when Damon brought the pair of pendants with him to visit the Bishop residence. Serena had just woken up not too long ago and was having breakfast with the assistance of her maids. She was confused to see her son here. Why wasn't he with his wife now? "Mom, I have something to tell you." Damon sat by Serena's side. He then pulled out the boxes that contained the Celestial Bonds. Damon told Serena the whole story of how James had given Sylvia the engagement agreement and pendant. He concluded, "So, Celeste has always been destined to be the daughter-in-law of the family from the start. I hope you'll respect her from now on." Serena merely listened to him in silence. After a while, she said slowly, "Is that true?" "I told Liam to look into Grandpa's medical history back then. It's true." Serena was utterly shocked. James only mentioned that he'd set up an amazing engagement for Damon back then. But he never told her the reason. Now that she thought about

When Damon returned home, Celeste had just woken up not too long ago. She was barefaced and curled up on the couch in the living room while having her coffee. "Aren't you cold?" Damon went over to touch her calves that weren't covered by her robe. He relaxed after making sure that they weren't cold. Celeste was still mad at him about the medicine. She silently lifted her head up to look at him.Damon sat by her side. Then, he stuffed the jewelry box that Serena gifted into her hands. "Here, Mrs. Bishop gave you this." He opened the lid and showed her the contents. Seeing the dazzling array of jewelry inside, Celeste felt overwhelmed. The last time she saw such a huge pearl was when she visited the museum. "Is she asking me to take this and leave you?" she asked."What are you talking about?" Damon flicked Celeste's head. "This is a wedding gift. She said that she forgot to give you this at our wedding, so she told me to pass it to you." "I don't want it." Celeste reject

It was finally winter, and everyone was starting to create designs for Christmas-themed jewelry. Celeste was drafting designs at her desk for almost half the day. She didn't even have time to drink water. Suddenly, her phone rang. It was a call from an unfamiliar number. "Celeste, something happened to Lawrence. We're at the Davidson Hospital, you should come over now!" She heard a woman speaking in a demanding tone over the phone. Celeste was dumbfounded. "Who are you?" The voice was familiar, and after processing it for a while, Celeste realized that it was Carly. "Lawrence's in a really bad condition. Come now!" Carly didn't answer Celeste's question, and after demanding for Celeste to come, she hung up. Judging from Carly's tone, she didn't sound like she was lying. Without thinking twice, Celeste asked for a day off from Sylvie before rushing to the hospital. On her way there, she got a call from Damon."Darling, my head hurts. Can you come up here and massa

He never would have imagined that the intelligent and aloof Celeste would have a day like this, appearing adorably naive and innocent.Damon used to like girls who were delicate and pure, but that changed when he met Celeste.She had a face full of charm and allure, but her expression and personality were always cold and unyielding. She was pale and slim, yet not childlike. On the contrary, she resembled a young poplar tree, proud and upright.Because of her, he began to like girls who sparked his desire to conquer, and he scoffed at those who were simply weak and shy.But now with Celeste like this, he didn't feel annoyed. In fact, not only was he not annoyed, he actually found it cute and interesting.“What's your name?” she asked again."Damon.""Oh, that sounds really nice."The initial confusion in her eyes was gone, replaced by a sparkling glimmer, and her tone carried a touch of a young girl's excitement."You are actually my husband… Wow, great job, me! I've managed to

"What? Aren’t you my husband? Do I still need to avoid you while changing clothes?" The confusion in Celeste's eyes didn’t seem fake.Damon was speechless and didn't know how to respond at that moment.When Damon didn't respond, Celeste suddenly felt a bit nervous."I'm sorry… I can't remember clearly. Aren't you my husband?"Damon raised an eyebrow casually and asked, "Why do you think I am?"Celeste innocently blinked, her eyelashes fluttering like fans. "The nurse said it. Besides, if you're not my husband, why would you sleep with me at night?""What did the nurse say?" Her reasoning was actually logical and undeniable. For a moment, Damon found it somewhat amusing."The nurse said that my husband is really thoughtful," Celeste responded seriously. Then she asked, "Aren't you my husband? Then why would you be willing to stay here with me so late?"This one sentence left Damon speechless.The reason he was willing was because he was a coward. He said that he didn't care abo

Damon frowned upon hearing the classic amnesiac questions being asked."Celeste, are you trying to act out a TV drama?"Celeste still looked at him blankly. "What do you mean?"Damon didn't answer and went straight to the director's office to get Nicholas.Knowing her, she wasn't the type to joke around, especially not with Leo still missing. She must have hit her head hard.Nicholas was equally surprised and hurried back to the room with Damon.Celeste was sitting up, hugging her knees and staring into space."You're awake? How do you feel?" Nicholas asked with a smile as he entered."Why am I here?" Her voice sounded hesitant, and she turned to look at them.Her confusion seemed genuine. Nicholas and Damon exchanged worried glances."Celeste… you don't remember?""Celeste?" She asked, "Is that my name?""Yes.""I don't remember. My mind is blank.""Do you remember… Leo?" Nicholas hesitated. After all, if she knew that her child had been missing for three days, he was wo

"Alright," Celeste said in a deep voice. "Let me see Leo first."They pushed open the hidden door, revealing a staircase leading to the basement."Have Leo come to the stairway corner." She stood at the dark staircase and negotiated with the kidnapper."Mommy!" Suddenly, Leo's desperate cry echoed from inside."Leo!" Celeste ditched everything else and rushed down the stairs.She ran ahead, and as soon as she reached the corner, there was a loud explosion, and a wave of heat hit her face."Celeste!""Celeste!"Damon and Winston's faces changed drastically, shouting in alarm.The basement was empty. It was a trap.Had they been more careful, they would have noticed that both the kidnapper’s voice and Leo’s cry were artificially synthesized. But Celeste, in her desperation to save her son, had been too frantic to discern this.The basement was rigged with landmines. Unfortunately, something went wrong. The mine exploded when Celeste reached the stairway corner, instead of when

What? Damon was also coming? Celeste felt her heart leap, and her voice became sharper as she said, "I can handle this. You can't come!"There was no response from his end.Observing Damon’s silence, Celeste quickly softened her tone. "Damon, listen to me. I can handle this alone. There's no need for you to get involved… because I'm their main target, and they likely won't harm Leo. You need to stay home and wait for him. You need to take care of him later on…""Celeste," Damon interrupted coldly. "Are you planning on not coming out alive?"Of course, coming out alive would be ideal, but she couldn’t guarantee that."Damon, I do have a chance of surviving, but when it comes to exchanging myself for Leo, there can be no room for error. We must follow the kidnapper's instructions to ensure Leo's safety."It was out of the question to provide a false sense of security and pretend to comply with the kidnapper, only to backtrack and get Leo killed.She needed to ensure Leo’s safety a

They checked all the surveillance footage near the Bishop residence and investigated every suspicious vehicle. They also had people keeping an eye on Henry, but after half a day, there was still no breakthrough.The kidnappers had taken Leo to threaten Celeste, and the lack of communication was meant to unnerve her. If it was according to predictions, she was supposed to wait for their demands. But, as a mother, she couldn't just sit and do nothing.Celeste remembered that Shannon had called her, so she found her contact in the blacklist and called."Shannon, did you and Henry kidnap Leo?" she demanded.Shannon laughed coldly. "Don't accuse us without any evidence. Your son is missing? Maybe it's karma. Hahaha!"Celeste hung up, unable to stand Shannon's smugness.Several teams searched for over 20 hours, even involving the police, but still had no solid leads. Celeste suspected Henry, but they couldn't just arrest him without any proof.She was extremely desperate. She didn't e

"Lester isn't as clever as Leo. He's just a four-year-old child, and he shouldn't have done anything like that," Serena instinctively defended Lester. Then, recalling the last time she had misunderstood Leo for similar reasons, she felt a pang of guilt and added, "I don't mean to imply anything… I'll have someone bring Lester here."Celeste nodded. "I'm not blaming Lester. I just want to understand what happened."Soon, the nanny looking after Lester brought him in. Unexpectedly, upon seeing Celeste, Lester burst into tears."Aunty Celeste, please don't hit me. I didn't mean to lose my brother!""Lester, I just want to understand what happened." Celeste was taken aback by his crying but kneeled down to speak gently. "I'm not blaming you. Can you tell me what you saw that day?""Aunty Celeste, don't hit me!" Lester kept crying, not saying a word about Leo's disappearance."Am I that scary, Lester?"At this moment, Celeste felt at a loss. She could communicate normally with Leo,

Celeste perfectly understood what Cedric's implied. "I mean, thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to entertain me today."Cedric had indeed wanted to help her that day, but his identity was too special to admit it openly. The scratch on the paper was a subtle hint, and whether or not she could interpret it depended on her intuition. The fact that she could decipher such a subtle hint proved her intelligence and luck.Over the years, Cedric had developed a sense of respect for Celeste after learning about her. He felt she was deserving of assistance, but he couldn't make it obvious."However, be careful. I see that Henry is at the end of his rope and might act irrationally. You should be on guard," Cedric warned.Celeste nodded, having considered this as well. "Henry wants me dead."This was why she had her brother stay abroad and sent Leo to the Bishops. With only herself remaining, it was harder for Henry to use her loved ones against her."Take care of yourse

Celeste's deduction was correct. Cedric intentionally left the mark. As Winston dug deeper, he slowly uncovered a series of issues.It was a bridge project on a highway in a poor mountainous area. Not uncommon.The problem was that the person in charge of this project was a leader assigned from a first-tier city to oversee the development. Officially, he was recognised for his capabilities, but in reality, this task was one he had to succeed in without failure.He had offended someone, and this transfer was a disguised punishment under the guise of a major responsibility.If he had managed it well, the chances of him returning to a higher development role would have been slim. At best, he could stay in this position until retirement. If he didn't manage it well, his entire career could be ruined.Someone of such status naturally had supporters as well as opponents. In such a situation, it was impossible for anyone to sabotage and create pitfalls along the way."It seems the next
